Definitions

  • FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary system for modifying autonomous vehicle settings.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a flowchart of an exemplary process that may be implemented by the system of FIG. 1 to modify autonomous vehicle settings.
  • An exemplary vehicle includes at least one autonomous driving sensor configured to monitor at least one condition while operating in an autonomous mode.
  • the vehicle further includes a processing device configured to identify at least one occupant, select a profile associated with the occupant, and autonomously operate at least one subsystem according to the selected profile and the at least condition monitored by the at least one autonomous driving sensor.
  • FIGS. may take many different forms and include multiple and/or alternate components and facilities. While an exemplary system is shown, the exemplary components illustrated are not intended to be limiting. Indeed, additional or alternative components and/or implementations may be used.
  • the system 100 includes a network interface device 105 , a user interface device 110 , at least one autonomous driving sensor 115 , an occupant identification system 120 , and a processing device 125 .
  • the system 100 may be implemented in a vehicle 130 such as any passenger or commercial car, truck, sport utility vehicle, taxi, bus, train, airplane, etc.
  • the network interface device 105 may be configured to facilitate communication over a telecommunication network such as a cellular network, a satellite network, or the like.
  • the network interface device 105 may be further configured to communicate with mobile devices through, e.g., Bluetooth®, WiFi, or another communication protocol.
  • the network interface device 105 may be configured to transmit messages to and/or receive messages from mobile devices.
  • the user interface device 110 may be configured to present information to a user, such as a driver, during operation of the vehicle 130 . Moreover, the user interface device 110 may be configured to receive user inputs. Thus, the user interface device 110 may be located in the passenger compartment of the vehicle 130 . In some possible approaches, the user interface device 110 may include a touch-sensitive display screen.
  • the autonomous driving sensors 115 may include any number of devices configured to generate signals that help navigate the vehicle 130 while the vehicle 130 is operating in an autonomous (e.g., driverless) mode. Examples of autonomous driving sensors 115 may include a radar sensor, a lidar sensor, a camera, an ultrasonic sensor, an energy-harvesting sensor, or the like. In some possible approaches, the autonomous driving sensors 115 may be configured to receive information from a remote source. Thus, the autonomous driving sensors 115 may further include cloud-based sensors such as a digital short range communication (DSRC) compliant device, a cellular receiver, a WiFi receiver, or the like.
  • DSRC digital short range communication
  • the autonomous driving sensors 115 help the vehicle 130 “see” the roadway and the vehicle 130 surroundings and/or negotiate various obstacles while the vehicle 130 is operating in the autonomous mode. Moreover, the autonomous driving sensors 115 may be configured to monitor one or more conditions while the vehicle 130 is operating in autonomous or non-autonomous driving modes. Examples of conditions may include a roadway condition, an environmental condition, a traffic condition, or any combination of these and/or other types of conditions. Examples of roadway conditions may include a radius of road curvature, a road type, the number of lanes, the direction of traffic, the road grade, the type of lane, whether the road has a shoulder and if so the type of shoulder and the shoulder conditions, road speeds and regulations, intersection position, whether the intersection includes a control device, segment configuration, etc.
  • Examples of environmental conditions may include the date, whether the current day is a weekend or holiday, the time of day, the current or pending lighting level, weather conditions (e.g., rain, snow, fog, mist, sleet, ice, or the like), etc.
  • Examples of traffic conditions may include adjacent traffic proximity relative to the host vehicle 130 , adjacent traffic classifications (e.g., whether adjacent traffic includes cars, trucks, pedestrians, motorcycles, etc.), adjacent traffic density and congestion levels, adjacent traffic speeds and acceleration information, etc.
  • the occupant identification system 120 may be configured to identify one or more occupants of the vehicle 130 .
  • the occupant identification system 120 may be configured to receive a key and identify one or more occupants based on one or more signals received from the key.
  • the occupant identification system 120 may be configured to identify one or more occupants from signals received from mobile devices located in or near the passenger compartment of the vehicle 130 or from images captured by, e.g., a camera located in the passenger compartment.
  • the camera may be configured to capture still images or video of the occupants and, using image processing, identify one or more of the occupants.
  • the occupant identification system 120 may be configured to identify one of the occupants as the “driver.” For example, the person sitting in the drivers seat may be identified as the “driver.” Alternatively, the “driver” may be identified according to a hierarchy. The vehicle owner may be assumed to be the “driver” any time the owner is present. If not present, the occupant identification system 120 may select a licensed family member of the owner as the “driver” before selecting licensed non-family members. The occupant identification system 120 may be configured to receive user inputs via the user interface device 110 . Thus, a “driver” may be manually selected or the automatic selection of the “driver” may be manually corrected. The occupant identification system 120 may output an occupant identification signal representing the identity of one or more occupants.
  • the processing device 125 may be configured to control one or more subsystems 135 while the vehicle 130 is operating in the autonomous mode.
  • subsystems 135 that may be controlled by the processing device 125 may include a brake subsystem, a suspension subsystem, a steering subsystem, and a powertrain subsystem.
  • the processing device 125 may control any one or more of these subsystems 135 by outputting signals to control units associated with these subsystems 135 .
  • the processing device 125 may control the subsystems 135 based, at least in part, on signals generated by the autonomous driving sensors 115 .
  • the processing device 125 may be further configured to receive the occupant identification signal output by the occupant identification system 120 and identify at least one occupant based on, e.g., the signal or signals received. With the occupants identified, the processing device 125 may select a profile associated with one the identified occupant, such as the occupant identified as the “driver.” The processing device 125 may autonomously operate at least one subsystem according to the selected profile and in accordance with the conditions monitored by the autonomous driving sensor 115 .
  • the selected profile may indicate whether the “driver” is a licensed driver as well as define one or more driving restrictions, if any, that limit the autonomous and/or non-autonomous operation of the vehicle 130 .
  • the profile associated with the owner of the vehicle 130 may not define any driving restrictions while the profile associated with an employee or a child of the owner may define multiple driving restrictions, especially if the child is a newly licensed driver. Examples of driving restrictions may include geographic restrictions, road type restrictions, timing restrictions, speed restrictions, safety restrictions, and environmental restrictions.
  • Geographic restrictions may limit the autonomous and/or non-autonomous operation of the vehicle 130 to particular routes and destinations.
  • the geographic restrictions may define particular lanes (e.g., center, left of center, right of center, etc.) that the vehicle 130 may travel in for particular roads.
  • the processing device 125 may temporarily override one or more geographic restrictions such as if there is an obstruction blocking the present lane of travel and the only way to avoid the obstacle is to move to a restricted lane. Another temporary override may occur if the vehicle 130 must travel in a particular lane to turn or exit from the current road.
  • Other geographic restrictions may define particular destinations. Examples of destinations may include a place of employment or school.
  • Other permissible destinations may be defined by one or more regions (e.g., a state, county, or other type of municipality) or a distance relative to a predetermined location (e.g., within 10 miles of the occupant's home or within a quarter of a mile for valet service).
  • other destinations may be selected by an owner to permit travel to, e.g., after school activities or to the home of one of the other occupants of the vehicle 130 .
  • Road type restrictions may limit the autonomous and/or non-autonomous operation of the vehicle 130 to particular roads. For instance, the road type restrictions may prevent the vehicle 130 from travelling on highways so that the vehicle 130 may only travel on local roads. Another type of road restriction may include preventing the vehicle 130 from travelling to areas known to have high crime rates.
  • Timing restrictions may limit the autonomous and/or non-autonomous operation of the vehicle 130 to particular days or times.
  • the timing restrictions therefore, may limit use of the vehicle 130 by one or more occupants to weekdays, weekends, etc.
  • the timing restrictions may be used to enforce a curfew by requiring the vehicle 130 to return to a designated “home” location with the occupant by a particular time.
  • the timing restrictions may be further used to prevent an occupant from using the vehicle 130 in low light conditions, which may be helpful if the occupant is a new driver or has a medical issue that makes driving at night difficult.
  • Speed restrictions may prevent the vehicle 130 from exceeding a predetermined speed relative to a posted speed limit and/or may define a maximum permissible vehicle speed. Other types of speed restrictions may limit the acceleration of the vehicle 130 . Different acceleration limits may be defined for different types of road segments such as for straight road segments and curved road segments.
  • Safety restrictions may include various restrictions such as requiring the occupants to wear seatbelts any time the vehicle 130 is in motion, defining a maximum permissible volume for the entertainment system 100 , limiting use of the user interface device 110 while the vehicle 130 is in motion, restricting media content from playing in the vehicle 130 under certain circumstances, limiting Internet usage, preventing the usage of mobile devices while the vehicle 130 is in motion, or the like.
  • One additional or alternative safety restriction may include defining a refueling limit that requires the vehicle 130 to refuel at particular locations and/or when the fuel tank reaches a certain predetermined minimum level. The safety restrictions may automatically reroute the vehicle 130 to refuel or recharge as needed. The safety restrictions may further automatically fully or partially enable the autonomous mode if the vehicle 130 is being operated erratically.
  • One way to partially enable the autonomous mode is for the safety restriction to define a minimum follow distance, correct the position of the vehicle 130 within a lane, and/or enable cruise control.
  • Environmental restrictions may limit the autonomous and/or non-autonomous operation of the vehicle 130 during particular weather conditions such as ice, fog, rain, snow, etc. Low visibility caused by the weather or, e.g., frosted windows, may further invoke one or more environmental restriction. In some instances, environmental restrictions may require that the vehicle 130 operate in the autonomous mode at least until the weather and/or visibility improve. In some other instances, environmental restrictions may require that the vehicle 130 not operate in the autonomous mode.
  • the processing device 125 may prevent the vehicle 130 from violating one or more of the restrictions. That is, the processing device 125 may enable the autonomous mode or control the route to autonomously operate the vehicle 130 in a manner that complies with the restrictions associated with the selected profile. In some instances, the processing device 125 may permit the vehicle 130 to violate one or more restrictions and transmit a message to the owner of the vehicle 130 describing the violation. Thus, the owner may be alerted any time a restriction is violated.
  • An override may automatically occur if, for instance, one of the occupants requires emergency services.
  • the vehicle 130 may be permitted to autonomously or non-autonomously travel to a police department, a fire department, a hospital, a refueling station, or the like.
  • an emergency service provider such as a 911 operator, may remotely override one or more driving restrictions that would otherwise prevent the vehicle 130 from allowing one or more occupants to seek emergency services.
  • the processing device 125 may be configured to receive, via the user interface device 110 , a user input with a request for a particular restriction to be temporarily disabled. Using the network interface device 105 , the processing device 125 may transmit an override request to the owner of the vehicle 130 . The override request may be transmitted to the owner's cell phone or email address, for instance. The processing device 125 may receive a response from the owner's cell phone or email address that either permits or rejects the override request. If permitted, the processing device 125 may temporarily disable one or more of the driving restrictions.
  • the processing device 125 may output a message to the occupant via, e.g., the user interface device 110 indicating that the override request has been denied.
  • the processing device 125 may control the operation of the vehicle 130 according to the driving restrictions associated with the selected profile.
  • the owner may wish to grant the override request on a case-by-case basis as a reward or other incentive to the occupant.
  • computing systems and/or devices may employ any of a number of computer operating systems, including, but by no means limited to, versions and/or varieties of the Ford SYNC® operating system, the Microsoft Windows® operating system, the Unix operating system (e.g., the Solaris® operating system distributed by Oracle Corporation of Redwood Shores, Calif.), the AIX UNIX operating system distributed by International Business Machines of Armonk, N.Y., the Linux operating system, the Mac OS X and iOS operating systems distributed by Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif., the BlackBerry OS distributed by Research In Motion of Waterloo, Canada, and the Android operating system developed by the Open Handset Alliance.
